Since native ints can't support a reserved value to mark an undefined
attribute, use a separate bitmap attribute (or attributes) to store
information about defined/undefined attributes with native int types.

The bitmap is only defined if we can't infer that an attribute is
always defined, and it's only needed for native int attributes.

We only access the bitmap if the runtime value of an attribute is
equal to the (overlapping) error value. This way the performance cost
of the bitmap is pretty low on average.

I'll add support for traits in a follow-up PR to keep this PR simple.

Work on mypyc/mypyc#837.
